Cape Kamui
A stunning cape surrounded by the clear, azure waters known as "Shakotan Blue."
Located within the Niseko-Shakotan-Otaru Kaigan Quasi-National Park, this cape stretches out from the northwestern part of the Shakotan Peninsula into the Sea of Japan. It's approximately 770 meters from the parking lot to the tip of the cape, with a scenic 20-minute walk along a trail that has some ups and downs. The natural beauty of the surrounding area and the clear, azure waters known as "Shakotan Blue" make the journey truly breathtaking. At the tip of the cape, you can find the Kamui Rock and the Cape Kamui Lighthouse, offering a 300-degree rounded horizon view.
The Kamui Rock has a legend associated with it. It's said to have formed when Charenka, a chief's daughter from the Hidaka region who adored Minamoto no Yoshitsune, threw herself into the sea in pursuit of him. After this, any ship with a woman onboard that approached the rock would capsize. As a result, women were prohibited from entering the area up until the early Meiji era. The gate at the trailhead is called "The Forbidden Gate for Women," a remnant from that period, and the trail is named "Charenka's Path."
Along the trail, seasonal flowers like Ezo Fuuro, Ezo Kanzou, and Rosa rugosa bloom.
